Flowers.

The destructive winds have gone and the sun is out. Yesterday was really warm. Everywhere I turn in my garden I see plants flowering. Weeds of course are flourishing too, but I will get to them soon. I do so love flowers and being able to go into the garden and pick a vase full of bright delights makes me very happy. Here I have picked irises ( 2 types...your favourites Sooziii ) little roses, watsonia; renga renga lilies and Azalea mollis. Lots of veges ready too. More lettuce and broccoli than we can eat. It is lots of work but the rewards outweigh that.Have a great weekend everyone.

About Me

Quilting is a wonderful hobby for me. I love the beautiful fabric and colours - my artistic side comes alive.
I have lived in Te Puna near Tauranga since 1978, where my husband ( R ) and I own a small orchard where we grow Kiwifruit and Avocados for export. We have a large garden and grow many other fruit, nuts and vegetables. When I was young I was a teacher and particularly liked teaching art. I have also worked in the Kiwifruit Industry in Quality Control and Auditing. I love to create and am currently passionate about patchwork and quilting. I sew by hand and using my Bernina Aurora 440 machine.
